Those  instructions  are  showing  their  age. As John mentions, it is
reckless to use a "dumb" HOSTS-file store-and-forward server that does
not have a replica of your recipient list to defend against dictionary
attacks.

My ldap2aliases and exchange2aliases scripts (see my sig) are designed
for  use  on  an  IMail  server  with actual virtual hosts defined for
store-and-forward  domains,  which  is  the  only  way that you can be
protected  against  dictionary  attacks.  Deleting  the  virtuals  and
relying on dumb HOSTS-file routing is an archaic method.

No,  there  would  be  Registry  changes necessary to make this change
cleanly. But see above.
